Continuing with my DeSoto models (with 2 new '56 Fireflite models coming-there will be new ones to see) Today, I have another one from 1955. Of all my DeSoto models, this one is my favorite. As with the Hardtop Coupe I posted previously, I've seen an actual car in these colors. It was a very impressive car.

Always nice to see a comparison of one of our models with the 1:1 car.

And a selection of the next year Desotos, the 1956 with meshed not toothed grills.   All are Collector Classics or modifications.
